About me
I am licensed in Arkansas with nearly 30 years of professional work experience.
For the past 25 years I have also provided couples therapy as well as premarital counseling.
I really like working with couples, but naturally both of you need to be committed to the process. I have limited success with couples who are dealing with infidelity, and do not have the training or experience to help couples with physical intimacy issues. Please consider a different therapist if any of these issues are a significant part of why you're choosing couple’s therapy.
I have the most success with communication, conflict resolution, and parenting issues. I am always happy to offer my suggestion and opinion, but I will never tell people what decisions they should make.
If therapy is not meeting your needs, then let me know. I am very open to feedback and have no desire to see couples waste their time and money. As long as both of you remain committed to making your relationship survive, then I’ll stay with you week after week. If everyone else in your life says you’re crazy and it’s time to call it quits, that’s up to either or both of you. Quitting is never up to me.
I check messages throughout the day, so I am particularly good at getting back to people in a very short amount of time.
Reach out to me and we’ll take a first step and see how it goes.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. James Guinee. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
The doctor is fantastic, he listens, he mediates. He helps guide the conversations well. He’s compassionate and understanding of all the various aspects of our situation.
He is easy to talk to and has given me a new view of therapy where as I was very skeptical at first
Dr Guinee is so genuine. Hes such peace at a time of crisis and doesnt use "Dr jargon" hes very precise in his answers and easy to communicate with.
Dr Guinee is very easy to talk to. He challenges us in a way that is gentle and considerate. It's early days, but I have a lot of confidence in him so far.
We have enjoyed our sessions so far. Dr. Guinee is very thoughtful and quick with communications.
Good so far.
Dr. Guinee was spectacular and really helped my wife and I through some very tough times.
Dr.Guinee is an incredible therapist!!! We highly recommend him!!! We love his style of counseling.
Has been a great help with our relationship matters and helping us see things from different perspectives.
Would recommend to anyone!
Dr Guinee is genuine, emphatic, caring, and emotionally intelligent. He addressed our concerns, listens intently, and provided effective diplomacy and compassionate solution. I recommend him.
James has created a space for our couple to open up, improve our communications and talk over sensitive topics in a way that has been a game-changer. James is a great listener, rapidly understands the problem at stake and can translate someone’s feelings articulately. We always felt in a trusted environment where we weren't afraid to be judged, which is the most essential thing in counselling. Thank you, James.
I would absolutely recommend Dr.Guinee to anyone! He is wonderful and gives great guidance to couples.
Dr. Guinee genuinely cares about my relationship with my partner. He's very emphatic, fair, and realistic.
Dr. Guinee is pleasant to work with. He listens to my concerns and problems and helps me find the answers within myself to handle difficult situations. He genuinely cares about his patients and wants to see them succeed in life and be happy. He will work with your schedule and make you feel like you matter. My wife and I highly recommend Dr. Guinee.
